Demetre Fraser : Activist march for justice


If you know where your son is right now you're very lucky. Consider the plight of Josie Fraser. Watch a mothers emotional appeal for your support here. As a people we must regain our tradition of marching and protest. Please read this and take action in support.
Demetre Fraser aka T.Dot was 21 years of age from London Peckham. He died after being visited by the West Midlands Police Force on the 31st May 2011. He was staying with a friend from Birmingham at the time.
The official version of events is that he committed suicide by jumping off an 11th floor balcony of a highrise tower block in Druids Heath Birmingham.
That version of events is heavily disputed and undermined by the fact that neighbours heard a violent struggle and evidence of such on the 11th and 8th floors. The case in now being investigated by the IPCC.
Demetre’s death follows on from the cases of Kingsley Burrell in Birmingham and Smiley Culture in London.
We are demanding a public inquiry into all suspicious deaths in custody and the immediate suspension of all the police officers involved pending investigation.
Please bring your banners , placards, whistles, vuvezaelas and drums. If you can bring a sound system then bring it. We intend to demonstrate that we will not simply sit idly and be a silent witness to injustice.
We have virtually no resources to organise this demonstration so we are depending on the only real resource we have and that is you. Through social networking we can make this march a huge success but we need you're support to do that.
